It seems that the Richland County, Wisconsin is the new victim of the pro-ISIS hackers as Team System DZ hacked three of the county’s domains this Sunday.

Team System DZ, the Algerian-based hacking team who made the news in March 2015 for hacking Richland County (Wisconsin) Sheriffs Department Website has now hacked and defaced three domains of the Richland Country office and uploaded a page with “Hacked By Team System Dz” message that appeared before 9 p.m. ET at the top of the website along with an audio song in the Arabic language.

Other than the Richland County Veterans Services Office domain the hackers also defaced Richland County Emergency Management and Richland County Recycling domain.

The hackers also left a brief message in support of the so-called Islamic State (IS, previouslyISIS/ISIL) terrorist group according to which:

“#Op USA | Ir | il | Ru | Fr | I love you Islamic State & Jihad Islamic State remain and expand, God willing, We will restore the dignity of Muslims Glory will return to Islam The dispute will return to outdated Be prepared.”
